PROGRESSIVE  PURCHASE  LISTS 
JANUARY  1912 

The  series  of  lists  is  so  arranged  ( i -6)  that 
each  $10.00  purchase  supplements  the  former 
ones  and  all  six  form  a well  balanced  $60.00 
school  library. 

This  folder  may  be  used  as  an  order  list.  In- 
dicate clearly  the  books  desired  and  enclose 
folder  in  letter  ordering  books.  In  ordering  any 
list  complete,  draw  a pencil  line  from  top  to 
bottom  of  page  on  all  other  lists  and  state 
in  letter  the  number  of  list  desired  thus:  “Pro- 
gressive Purchase  List  No.  4.” 

Prices  quoted  are  those  given  in  the  recom- 
mended list  (1911)  of  the  State  Superintendent

have  agreed  to  furnish  Missouri  schools  with 
books  at  these  prices  and  to  prepay  freight  on
